Initiative to introduce golf to youngsters

An initiative designed to introduce children to golf will be launched in April.

Homebuilder Dandara has teamed up with Isle of Man Golf to support the ‘Chip and Putt’ programme - which provides aspiring junior golfers an opportunity to play and develop their skills.

A five week-programme is to be rolled out, initially at four primary schools, and if successful, could be extended next year.

Willaston, Kewaigue, Laxey and  Scoill Phurt Le Moirrey (Port St Mary) primary schools will participate in the pilot scheme.
